Reach for this book when your child is starting to push against the boundaries you have set for them, or when they are questioning the rules of their world. This atmospheric fable follows a sheltered prince and a courageous kitchen maid who venture beyond the literal and figurative walls of their kingdom to discover if the monsters they have been taught to fear are actually real. It is a slim, fast paced adventure that explores the tension between safety and freedom, and the way legends can be used to control people. Parents will find it an excellent choice for a child who loves classic fantasy but is ready for deeper questions about truth and independence. While there are moments of tension and mythical danger, the focus remains on the developing friendship and the personal growth of the young protagonists.
